Life has an interesting way of rewarding us at the most unexpected moments. For a waitress at Oven and Tap restaurant in Bentonville, Arkansas, a life-changing surprise awaited one evening in December 2021. Ryan Brandt, who served a dinner party of 44 real estate executives, was astounded to receive a whopping $4400 tip. Grant Wise, a real estate consultant, organized this generous gesture where each member of the dinner party contributed $100 toward the tip that was meant to be shared by Brandt and one other waitress. However, Brandt's happiness was short-lived because the restaurant soon fired her citing policy violation reasons, as per KNWA.

A historic marker could be erected to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville’s New Town neighborhood nearly a year ago. If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

Subway revealed it will tweak its marketing strategy as it grapples with a recent downturn in sales — switching from promoting snacks to offering value meals, according to sources who attended a conference call with franchisees.

CEO John Chidsey said on Thursday that Subway beginning Aug. 26 will launch a $6.99 promotion for a different foot-long sub every day for online orders. The promotion is expected to begin with a two-week run.

That could amount to a discount of more than 50% on some days. At full price, a foot-long Titan Turkey sub is priced at $11.89 and The Beast is $13.99...
